Edinburgh's Georgian Shadows | FREE event

Just wanted to highlight the Edinburgh Georgian Shadows event that will run from 23rd February to 26th March 2017, taking place every evening between 5.30 and 8.30pm. If you'll be in Edinburgh during this time (or if you can make it here!) then I highly recommend popping an evening aside to check it all out.

A bit of background/context so you can get excited about it: Edinburgh's New Town is turning 250 years old this year (I'm originally from New Zealand so this number really blows my mind!) and to celebrate this milestone the lumiere experience will highlight Edinburgh's Georgian architecture and bring the original residents back to life. Projections at different key spots around New Town will tell the origin story and take you on a historical journey alongside the people who walked the streets over 200 years ago.

The best thing about it all all is that this is completely FREE! There are also paid tours available for those wanting a more detailed experience.

Read more about what you can expect from the events here. And if you do go, make sure you share your pics with us, we'd love to see!

I'm a Scottish travel blogger and freelance writer with an extensive knowledge of travelling in Scotland. I'm always on the road exploring my wonderful country. I love remote places, history and the great outdoors.

Starting in St Andrew Square I took the tour and enjoyed the clever
use of lighting highlighting the architectural character of the buildings as
our very knowledgeable guide entertained us with tales of 18th
century Edinburgh and the history of the New Town.

My favourite part was at the Assembly Hall lane
with the added noise effects, I felt for a moment I'd stepped back in time.
